Marble and granite are specified for residential and commercial projects in the UAE. Applications include flooring, wall cladding, countertops, staircases, reception desks, lift lobbies, column cladding, and custom stone work in villas, apartments, commercial offices, hospitality projects, healthcare facilities, and public infrastructure.
At Diamond Wave Marble & Granite LLC, marble and granite services are provided as part of complete project execution, covering material sourcing, in-house fabrication, installation, surface finishing, polishing, and restoration for projects throughout the UAE.

Marble and Granite Flooring
Material selection for marble and granite flooring depends on space usage, required surface finish, and project specifications. Granite is commonly specified for entrance zones and areas where low maintenance is required. Marble is specified where surface appearance and natural pattern variation are part of the design requirement.
Points to consider for marble and granite flooring include:
Surface Finish
Polished and honed finishes are used for interior flooring. Flamed and bush-hammered finishes are selected for entrance areas, ramps, and spaces where slip resistance is required. For marble, polished finishes are commonly preferred for lobbies and residential interiors.
Tile Format and Layout
Large-format slabs are used for premium lobbies and flooring areas. Standard tile formats are selected for service corridors, utility areas, and projects with specific layout or replacement requirements. Joint placement is reviewed for larger flooring areas, particularly at movement points and connection areas.
Floor Motifs and Inlays
Waterjet-cut marble and granite inlays are used for flooring in lobbies, reception areas, and entrance spaces. Geometric patterns, border designs, and multi-material motifs are executed using waterjet cutting, with material selection and layout planning coordinated to maintain alignment in colour, tone, and surface finish throughout the installation.
At Diamond Wave, material sourcing, cutting, surface finishing, and installation coordination are handled based on project specifications, layout requirements, and site conditions.
For detailed guidance on each material, refer to our dedicated guides on [Marble for Interior Spaces] and [Granite for Interior Spaces], covering finish options, fabrication requirements, and installation considerations for each stone.
Marble and Granite Wall Cladding
Both marble and granite are installed in interior and exterior wall cladding. Granite panels are commonly selected for exterior façades, service corridors, and commercial interiors. Marble is selected for lift lobbies, reception areas, statement walls, and hospitality interiors where surface appearance and natural pattern variation form part of the design requirement.
Wall cladding considerations include:
Panel Thickness and Fixing
Panel thickness is selected based on the application, fixing method, and wall requirements. Exterior façade panels may require additional thickness based on fixing systems and structural considerations. For interior applications, panel thickness is determined by wall requirements and installation method.
Corner Detailing
45-degree cutting is used to create clean corner joints on both marble and granite wall panels without visible edges, supporting a uniform finish at corners and connection points.
Book-Matched Marble Panels
Feature walls and hotel lobbies use book-matched marble panels to maintain continuous vein patterns. Slab selection and layout planning are completed before fabrication to maintain pattern alignment throughout the installation.
Exterior Cladding
For exterior granite cladding, fixing methods and joint detailing are reviewed during the specification stage. Finish selection depends on surface requirements, weather exposure, and maintenance considerations.
Diamond Wave handles panel fabrication, finishing, and installation coordination for both marble and granite wall cladding based on project specifications and site requirements.
Marble and Granite Staircase Installation
Marble and granite staircase work covers treads, risers, profiles, and landing areas. Granite stair treads are commonly specified for commercial and public staircases. Marble is selected for residential and hospitality staircases where surface appearance is a primary consideration.
Staircase installation considerations include:
Stair Treads and Risers
Treads and risers are fabricated based on site dimensions and design specifications. Edge profiling is completed using CNC equipment, with bullnose, bevelled, and custom profiles available based on project requirements.
Surface Finish
Honed finishes are commonly used for residential marble staircases. Flamed or bush-hammered finishes may be selected for granite treads in commercial and public spaces where slip resistance is required.
Our services include staircase fabrication, profiling, and installation based on site measurements and project specifications.
Marble and Granite Countertops
Marble and granite countertops cover kitchens, food preparation areas, F&B spaces, reception desks, restroom vanities, laboratory surfaces, and commercial worktop applications. Granite is commonly specified where heat exposure, moisture conditions, and daily usage are primary considerations. Marble is specified for vanities, hotel rooms, reception desks, and decorative countertop applications where surface appearance is part of the design requirement.
Countertop fabrication considerations include:
Edge Profiles
Common edge profiles include bullnose, bevelled, ogee, and eased edges, completed using CNC profiling equipment based on project design requirements.
Sink Cutouts
Countertops requiring sink installations need accurate cutouts based on fixture dimensions and installation methods. Support around cutout areas is considered during fabrication to maintain slab stability.
Sealing
Marble countertops in kitchens and food service spaces may require sealing to protect surfaces from spills, moisture, and regular usage. For granite, sealing may still be recommended for specific grades and applications, particularly in food service and frequently used work areas.
All countertop fabrication at Diamond Wave is completed in-house using CNC profiling for edge detailing and bridge saw cutting for slab sizing. Site measurements are taken before fabrication when required to support accurate installation for custom layouts and joinery requirements.
Custom Stone Work
In addition to flooring, wall cladding, staircases, and countertops, marble and granite are also fabricated for custom interior requirements. These include reception desks, column cladding, dado and cornice profiles, decorative inlays, signage, restroom vanities, and custom stone furniture.
Custom fabrication at Diamond Wave includes:
Reception Desks and Front Counters
Reception desks, front counters, and custom commercial installations are fabricated in marble and granite based on project dimensions and design requirements.
Column Cladding
Panel sizing, fixing, and corner detailing for column cladding are handled based on column dimensions and project specifications.
Dado, Cornice, and Decorative Profiles
CNC profiling is used for dado designs, cornice work, and decorative profiles in both marble and granite, completed based on project specifications and design requirements.
Logos, Signage, and Decorative Panels
Waterjet cutting is used for logos, signage, and decorative panels that require precise detailing and custom layouts.
Material selection, design requirements, and fabrication planning are reviewed before production to align with project specifications.
Polishing and Restoration Services
Diamond Wave provides polishing and restoration services for marble and granite surfaces in residential and commercial projects. These services cover both new installations and existing surfaces requiring maintenance or surface correction.
Floor and Wall Polishing
Polishing services restore the original finish and lustre of marble and granite floors and walls, completed based on stone type and surface condition.
Floor and Wall Restoration
Worn or damaged marble and granite surfaces are restored through specialised restoration methods suited to the material and extent of surface damage.
Stain Removal
Stains on marble and granite surfaces are treated using appropriate techniques and products selected based on the stone type and stain cause, without affecting the structure of the stone.
Sealing and Protection
Protective sealing is applied to marble and granite surfaces to protect against spills, moisture, and regular usage, maintaining surface finish quality and supporting the long-term condition of the installation.
